| "As we were about to pick up Martian Fluxx, Isaac saw Star Fluxx next to it, so that game *had* to hit the table right away. About 20 minutes later, in the midst of an unbelievable draw-5-play-all card extravaganza, Isaac's eyes suddenly got wide. 'OH! OH!! First, I'll play Lasers on Stun! to replace He's Dead Captain. Now, I'll play City of Monsters to replace Lasers on Stun! And then I win, because I have the Alien City and the Bug-Eyed Monster and the goal is City of Monsters! Ha! MOM!! MOM!!! I WON, I WON!!!! I BEAT DAD!!!!' Thank you both for a hilariously fun evening!" -- John K, via Facebook | "I lived on the same street from them until last year - they are awesome folks! They always have a smile and give out the best stuff for Halloween." -- Wingsofazrael, commenting on a thread on Reddit.com about Alison's awesome customer service | |
| "Folks at Looney Labs: you've done it again! We ordered Pirate Fluxx and Chrononauts and were not disappointed! Pirate is the new favorite (combining with Monty Python is a riot... outrageous French pirates?) and Chrononauts is a blast. We even commented that, unlike a certain old standard board game of which there are countless "variations" that are really just the exact same game with different names, the variations of Fluxx are different enough to provide actual VARIETY and as a bonus we can combine them for a different game! We continue to recommend it widely to anyone who'll listen. And with six family members and often others around, we LOVE that both games are playable with a group or a few, and that with Fluxx in particular you can just deal in a hand halfway through the game and it doesn't set anyone back at all. Keep up the great work!" -- email from Kory F. | "Great Game!! Awesome artwork, which also makes the game colorful and beautiful, rather than distracting. Different ways to play (besides the standard), which can cater to much much younger players. Still challenging for veteran gamers. Games can be very quick. Part mindless game, part "stay on your toes"-be flexible-bluff-scheme game. I thick-sleeved this game right away because I knew that it'd be a hit in our household, that good shuffling is necessary, and that little ones would also play throughout the years to come. I bought this on a super-strong hunch after viewing a live demo; love at first sight. My first Looney Labs game." -- Peter Elsenheimer, comments on Seven Dragons at BGG.com | "Great Game!!

| "But even cooler than the Fluxx cards is realizing that the Looneys made enough money selling them to quit their jobs building space shuttles. That's the dream, right there - whether we like it or not, money makes everything happen; everybody has to make some, and a few are lucky enough to make some doing something fun. Like making card games. LIVE THE DREEEEAM." -- Rich Abdill, in the College Park Patch, March 30, 2011: Living The Dream: Space Shuttles, Monty Python And Zombie Ballerinas | "just had a lovely game of Aquarius with my 2 year old. Hurray for proper games with little child rules, and thankyou LooneyLabs" -- tweet from Kirsten Watson (@ghoti), 7/1/11 | "Another thing I really liked about Aquarius is that it has amazingly written rules. Not only do they GET TO THE POINT QUICKLY, there are color diagrams, they have visual cues for easy navigation and they keep the FAQs and alternative play stuff for the back page. If you're an inventor and need an example of well-written rules, spend the money and get yourself a copy. I mean it." -- The Game Aisle's review of Aquarius: Because it looks SO GOOD! |
